"Howard Ben Tré: Interior/Exterior"
1999-12-11 until 2000-03-20
Palm Springs Desert Museum
Palm Springs, CA, USA United States of America

Focusing on work made between 1984 and 1996, Interior/Exterior examines the career of glass artist Howard Ben Tré. Through sculptures, works on paper, maquettes and photographs of public works, the exhibition explores the artist's concern with the poetics of time and space.

This exhibition includes several series of glass sculptures that contain architectonic references such as in Cast Forms, and Structures and Columns. In the series Figures and Dedicants, Ben Tré became increasingly concerned with the human form, synthesizing architectural and figurative references. These explorations led to subsequent series including Vases and Vessels. Examples of his current work underscore Ben Tré's interest in the spiritual and mystical associations of the figure and its relationship to ancient vessels. A full color publication accompanies this exhibition.
